There is actually a specific tool use to open stuck nail polish bottle! It's called CAP NINJA, and it works like a charm! It's available to purchase online and the website is: WWW.THECAPNINJA.COM.

Run the nail polish bottle in hot water for a lil bit... or set it in a bow/cup of hot water (not boiling) then it should open. Once open, get any access dried nail polish from underneath cap.

I agree with Melissa, Carly and Yasmin. I fill a bowl with hot water and let it sit for a few minutes or just run hot water over it. Then I will take a cotton ball with nail polish remover and wipe all the dried nail polish off (even under the cap handle with a Q-tip).

Ditto for me on what Melissa said. Don't use a hairdryer on it since it will overheat the bottle which can potentially shatter the glass.

I do the same as Melissa! The hot water works for me every time!
But after you open it, I would remove the dried polish from around the sides. :)

I usually run the bottle under HOT water (becareful here), and then use one of those gripper things to pry it open. It usually takes a few hot water runs. Good luck!

maybe if you use one of those silicone grips like for opening jars you could then grip it hard enough to twist it open.

I went to go use my basecoat the other day and i couldn't unscrew the top!
There must have been some on the sides and it dried, now i can't open it!
Any tricks to getting it open?
